DEB-IBM: A generic and accessible individual-based implementation of the Dynamic Energy Budget theory

Below you can find the DEB-IBM implementation in Netlogo, the user manual, and the model description using the ODD protocol. However, I am moving the DEB-IBM site to my personal research page. Here you can find up-to-date model versions, applications, and support.

Since the publication of DEB-IBM the parameter set for Daphnia magna has been updated in add_my_pet. This new version includes the updated parameter set. Note the figures in the User Manual correspond with the older Daphnia parameter set found in v1.

Paper by Dr. Ben Martin “Predicting population dynamics from the properties of individuals: a cross-level test of dynamic energy budget theory” was chosen to receive an Honorable Mention for the 2013 Student Paper of the Year award from The American Naturalist (i.e., one of the three best papers among 80).

On March 10th, Dr. Chun Liu spoke at the Innovation Convention 2014, in the session “Nobel inspiration: a conversation with young researchers“
